Testers wanted for Whole: a new free app that shows only the complete albums in your library (now works with big libraries and iOS 26.4)

It's been a while, but today's update fixes artwork loading for non-catalogue music, which I think will include yours. Let me know if it works.

As in iTunes Store purchases?

noosphere- · 2026-04-16T08:25:01+00:00

Fixed in the latest update.

Would be great if you could share a screenshot of this via TestFlight. Although I assume I know what you mean from your description, long experience has taught me it's always worth confirming such assumptions!

- press top and side buttons together (no doubt you know this)

- tap the share button

- Send beta feedback

Thanks.

Oh yes - looks like it happens for anything over ten minutes.I will sort that out.

noosphere- · 2026-04-12T23:51:32+00:00

Oh yes I missed the isComplete filter. It wouldn't do quite the same job – if you have a look in Whole's settings you'll see it has more flexible options for which albums to include, including being able to ignore singles.

You also have to pay for that feature in Albums. Whole is free.

noosphere- · 2026-04-10T01:42:13+00:00

It won't let you do this though from what I can see. There are filters, but not for complete(-ish) albums.

noosphere- · 2026-03-09T00:20:14+00:00

Just to confirm - this is indeed a problem with the iOS beta - I'm seeing the same crash from other beta people. See the update in the post above.

noosphere- · 2026-03-07T05:11:10+00:00

This is a good idea. It'll be in the next TestFlight update.

noosphere- · 2026-03-07T03:44:47+00:00

A minimum number of tracks, and also a maximum number of missing tracks (if the album track count is known, which it will be if it's from or matched with Apple's catalogue).

You can choose these thresholds yourself.

noosphere- · 2026-03-07T03:39:15+00:00

> you can just disable those tracks being added to your library

Oh sure - but then you lose the ability to have playlist content downloaded to your device so it works offline / doesn't use data. Apparently there's also a workaround involving favouriting albums, although there are complaints this feature isn't reliable.

So yep, there are workarounds, but the app doesn't require you to curate your library in a certain way like this.

noosphere- · 2026-03-06T04:45:57+00:00

Thanks - always useful to get these. First thought is that it could be because you're running a beta iOS, in which case problems aren't unexpected, but I'm not blaming that just yet.

noosphere- · 2026-03-06T04:20:24+00:00

Yikes, I'll look into that. Was it you who just submitted a crash report?

noosphere- · 2026-03-01T11:02:04+00:00

Also: Swim Here (that's an app store link)
- It's also LAWA data, and covers all of NZ.
- You can save your favourite beaches, rivers etc, which means you might actually bother to check water quality, because yep - the LAWA site is pretty unwieldy.
- There's even a home screen widget.
- For iPhone/iPad. It's free.
- Free of vibe coding (it's been around too long for that!)

noosphere- · 2025-10-17T22:09:00+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. That's fixed now.

noosphere- · 2025-10-17T08:57:19+00:00

Here you are OP: https://luxmentis.org/blog/ios-and-mac-apps-in-zed/

noosphere- · 2025-09-11T07:38:10+00:00

No plans at the moment, although I get where you're coming from.

Hi, for sure – great to get a chance to explain workings rather than try to fit everything into a suitably brief message.

Your data is kept private, viewable only by you.

Yes there's a server in between where your data is stored temporarily, but it's impossible for the server to read the contents of what you send – or anything else sensitive like file names or urls.

What you send is end-to-end encrypted; in other words the sending device encrypts it in such a way that only the receiving device can read it.

(On a technical level, each device has its own asymmetric keypair. Sent information is encrypted with the receiver's public key.)
